Hi, Ian:

I agree with you on the point that the way we implement it should be app agnostic. In addition, it should cover both CLI and Dashboard, so the system behavior should be consistent to end users.

The keywords is just one of the many ways to implement the concept. It is based on the reality that dnsmasq is the only driver available today to the community. By the end of the day, the input from customer should be translated to one of those mode keywords. It doesn't imply the same constants have to be used as part of the CLI or Dashboard.

Randy and I had lengthy discussion/debating about this topic today. We have straw-man proposal and will share with the team tomorrow. 

That being said, what concerned me the most at this moment is, we are not on the same page. I hope tomorrow during sub-team meeting, we can reach consensus. If you can not make it, then please set up a separate meeting to invite key placeholders so we have a chance to sort it out.

Talking to Sean, he's good with this too, so we're all working to the same ends and it's just a matter of getting code in.
